    The Serifs and Kitters are going to fight now, and it will be amazing. Nik’s probably just going after Krystal.

  2. Khend says:

    The severed hand sitting in plain sight of the entrance is a nice touch.

    …why do I get the feeling this is going to end in Sawl and Crystal staying for tea or something?

  3. Drakiel says:

    how is that “he stole” hand being kept from rotting and smelling up the place? unless its fake, which would seem to fit Hassans prankful nature.

  4. Nick Daniel says:

    WATCH ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT ALREADY!!

  5. DHGM says:

    Oh that’s the reference? References don’t work very well if nobody notices it. Try something everybody will be a bit more familiar with, the Skyrim and Zelda ones were good.

  6. scienceguy8 says:

    Not everyone has to get a reference for it to be funny.

  7. Drakiel says:

    @Nick Daniel (several youtube clips later) my question still stands…. in fact i have more but I’m not willing to drive everyone further into maddness with them.

  8. Nick Daniel says:

    It’s a reference this episode of Arrested Development. Particularly the scene where it is revealed that the toy shop owner has used the prosthetic hand that Buster left in his store to discourage thieves.

    If you have the internet you have no excuse for not having already seen every single episode at least three times.

  9. Drakiel says:

    @Nick Daniel Thank you for the link and explanation. but the video the link leads to is a clip of some magician accedentally shooting pennies at people and cuts out in midspeech if you don’t have huluplus. nice try though

    p.s.(quote from earlier) “unless its fake, which would seem to fit Hassans prankful nature.” hmm… I seemed awful close for someone who didn’t get it…

  10. Nick Daniel says:

    So sign up for the one week free trial, or cough up the $8 to buy a month of service.

    Back when I had a TV I watched most of the early episodes of Arrested Development, but I didn’t think they were that funny. Just good enough to watch if I had the time and there was nothing better on another channel. Now I certainly don’t have the time. Almost every day I’m behind in my webcomic reading. Today I was so far behind that I had to click back three days on my dailies. What are we going to do about all these people making webcomics? They’re killing me. Oh well. I’ll just carry on. Don’t mourn me. I’ll die doing something I enjoy.

    So, this Hulu thing. Is it accessible in Europe now? Because every time I clicked on a Hulu link before, it wasn’t. Just curious though. I couldn’t justify spending $8 on a month of TV when I don’t have enough time to read all these webcomics on my plate.

  12. Nick Daniel says:

    Sorry Gillsing I don’t know if hulu works in Europe, my guess would be no, international licensing tends to thwart stuff like that.

  13. Jinxed says:

    I think I found Nikol’s foot in the top tight of panel 2

  14. DHGM says:

    Ooh, good eye Jinxed. I wish I could notice that crap.

    Now the hand labelled “He Stole” is the reference right? I still don’t get it.

  15. Nick Daniel says:

    To be fair Sawl’s dialog was initially covering Nikol’s foot there, I just noticed it last night and changed it.

    And yes the “He Stole” sign is the reference but I’m tired of explaining it.

  16. Gillsing says:

    @DHGM:

    “Particularly the scene where it is revealed that the toy shop owner has used the prosthetic hand that Buster left in his store to discourage thieves.”

    Seems pretty obvious to me: Buster leaves a prosthetic hand in a toy store, and the toy shop owner then uses that hand to discourage thieves, likely in the same fashion that the hand in this shop is being displayed, since otherwise it wouldn’t be much of a reference. I find it mildly amusing even after needing the explanation.
